- Description
- The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), Research and Innovative Technology Administration, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), Cambridge, Massachusetts, intends to issue a solicitation for the San Diego International Airport Runway 9 MALSR System Refurbishment Project. The solicitation is being competed as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside and is intended for a single award. The Volpe Center is supporting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for this project. The FAA owns and maintains an approach lighting system (ALS) to Runway 9 at the San Diego International Airport. An ALS is a configuration of signal lights disposed symmetrically about the extended runway centerline, starting at the landing threshold and extending outward into the approach zone. This system provides pilots with visual information regarding runway alignment, height perception, roll guidance and horizon references. Specifically, the system is a Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System (MALS) with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (RAIL), considered a MALSR in combination. The MALS consists of a threshold light bar and seven steady burning light bars spaced at 200-foot intervals along the extended runway centerline and extending out a distance of 1,400 feet from the Runway 9 threshold. The RAIL portion consists of five sequence flashers located on the extended runway centerline, the first being located after the last steady burning light station, with successive light stations located at 200-foot intervals out to approximately 2,400 feet from the runway threshold. All lights are aimed into the Runway 9 approach and away from the runway threshold. MALSR Station 15+00 and each successive light station after that are supported on top of an elevated timber platform. Four of the platforms (Stations 15+00, 17+00, 19+00, 21+00) are located in a boat channel (the former mouth of the San Diego River and referred to on some maps as Navy Lagoon) and the last two stations (Stations 23+00 and 24+85) are located on land across the lagoon on elevated platforms as well within Naval Training Center (NTC) Park, a recently-developed San Diego city park. Initially installed in 1982, the platforms at Stations 15+00, 17+00, 19+00, 21+00 and six of the eight supporting timber piles at Stations 17+00, 19+00, and 21+00 have deteriorated to a point where the structural and operational integrity of the MALSR is in question. The FAA plans to make the necessary repairs to the MALSR and bring the platforms into Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance. The proposed action is strictly maintenance-related and does not affect the existing functionality of the airport. The purpose of the contract is for a Contractor to install new piles, platforms, OSHA-compliant ladder system, and MALSR Lighting System. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is for this acquisition is 237990 with a small business size standard of $33.5 million. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 36.204 Disclosure of the magnitude of construction projects, the estimated price of this procurement is within the following price range: (e) Between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
